What is the bulb model for the headlights of the Bora Classic?

The original bulb is an Osram bulb, with both high and low beams using H7. Pay attention when replacing the bulb. Dealing with light decay: As the headlights are used, the brightness of the bulb will gradually decrease. This normal physical phenomenon is called light decay. Dim headlights can easily cause accidents, so they should be replaced promptly once they become dim—don't wait until they fail. Choosing high-quality bulbs can delay color decay, extend service life, and provide more safety for your driving. Regularly check your headlights, and it is recommended to replace the bulbs in pairs every 20,000 kilometers. Five minutes after the engine is turned off: Wait at least five minutes after turning off the engine before replacing the bulb. Before replacing the car bulb, you will need gloves and protective goggles. Use alcohol to wipe off fingerprints or grease on the outer surface of the lamp housing, and avoid touching the glass surface of the bulb with bare hands to prevent fingerprints from contaminating the glass shell and shortening the bulb's lifespan. After replacing the bulb, adjust the headlights to avoid glare.
I've been driving the Bora Classic for over a decade and have replaced the headlight bulbs several times - the model is definitely H7. This car comes with factory-fitted H7 halogen bulbs, 55 watts, which are readily available in the market. When replacing them yourself, be careful: first turn off the power, and don't force open the lamp cover - the bulb base is clip-on. Remember not to touch the glass with your hands, as oil residue can shorten the bulb's lifespan. If the headlights seem dimmer than usual, it might be time to replace the aging bulbs. I generally check them once a year since nighttime illumination is crucial for safety. After replacement, remember to adjust the headlight height, otherwise all your effort will be wasted if the beam isn't properly aligned. They're quite affordable, just a few dozen yuan for a pair, available off the shelf at auto parts stores.
